Next date to watch
Federal cap reinforces existing AZ posture.
Federal change scheduled for November 12, 2026
State rules are only one layer. Unless Congress changes the enacted provision, Section 781 changes the federal hemp definition to total THC—Delta-9 THC plus 0.877 times THCA—and adds a 0.4 milligram total-THC-per-container cap beginning November 12, 2026. That federal change is separate from the Arizona posture above.
